The loss does not land all at once here: the Sturdee Amesbury Skiff sheds about 4% in year one and keeps going at much the same rate. From roughly $6,095 it falls to around $4,760 by year five — a five-year loss near $1,335, about $0.73 a day in depreciation.
There is no single sweet spot on the Sturdee Amesbury Skiff: it gives up a similar share of its value every year rather than falling off a cliff, so how long you keep it matters more than what age you buy it at.
